Liability Waiver

Last updated: March 2026

By participating in any yoga session, programme, or course offered by Sushi Yogi (Sushmitha Shrikanth), you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. Voluntary participation

I confirm that my participation in yoga classes, live sessions, and course materials is entirely voluntary. I understand that yoga involves physical movement and that, as with any physical activity, there is an inherent risk of injury.

2. Health declaration

I confirm that I am in suitable physical and mental health to participate in yoga practice. I have consulted with a qualified medical professional where appropriate, and I have disclosed any pre-existing health conditions, injuries, or physical limitations to my teacher prior to commencing practice.

3. Assumption of risk

I understand and accept that yoga practice may involve physical exertion and that there is an inherent risk of injury. I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any and all risks associated with my participation, including but not limited to: muscle strain, joint injury, falls, or aggravation of pre-existing conditions.

4. Release of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release and hold harmless Sushi Yogi, Sushmitha Shrikanth, and any associated instructors, assistants, or staff from any and all claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from my participation in any yoga session or programme, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

5. Modifications and personal responsibility

I understand that it is my responsibility to listen to my body and to modify or skip any posture that does not feel appropriate for my body on any given day. I will communicate any discomfort, pain, or injury to the teacher immediately.

6. Online sessions

For online and live-streamed sessions, I acknowledge that I am practising in my own space and that it is my responsibility to ensure that space is safe, clear of hazards, and appropriate for yoga practice. Sushi Yogi accepts no liability for any injury, loss, or damage occurring in my personal practice space.

7. Governing law

This waiver is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. If any provision of this waiver is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
